DETAILED, ON-TIME, and PERSONABLE
As a first-time home buyer and woman with no knowledge of house-parts at 27, Buchanan made me feel at ease and knowledgeable about each area of the house as I followed him like a lost puppy. He was thorough in his assessments and helped explain what good and bad condition look like, the function, and how they would function differently if I made the suggested repairs. He was very honest about what is a necessary repair (what could wait), what I could Youtube-DIY, and what really needs a professional. For each noted item, he wanted us to understand the problem, how it occurred, remediation, and how to avoid reoccurrence.
I really appreciated his intention of noting the safety/hazard of each problem. He mentioned what could easily harm a child/pet which is SO important for many family-buyers.
After this home inspection, I truly feel like I know every little crevice of the house! Also-- he was VERY quick at getting the inspection report back to us.
Big companies charge twice the price and don't give as in-depth of an experience. I would go with Buchanan ten times over and recommend him to anyone who is buying in the area. Seriously-- he made a stressful and presumably boring experience fun and educational. read more
